Battle Area Early Today
CAIRO (AP) - Britain and France said to-day they are going ahead with plans to send an expeditionary force into Egypt despite U.S. and Egyptian protests. The first combined operations troops
ore expected to land in the Suez Canal zone around dawn in the midst of the Israeli-Egyptian battle.

HALIFAX(CP) - Twenty-three
years of Liberal .-rule ended in
Nova Scotia Tuesday night. -.
Three hours after the polls
closed The Canadian Press reported the defeat of Premier
Ifcnry Hicks' Liberal government
at the hands of the Progressive!
Conservatives led by Robert L. I
Stanfieid. ■ j
It was the sixth provincial elec- ■
tlon this year, most in any one1
year since 1890, and the only oncj
in which the sitting government I
went down to defeat.
In olher provincial elections this
year New Brunswick re-elected Hs
Progressive Conservative government, Quebec the Union Nation-
ale, Saskatchewan the CCF, British Columbia Social Credit and
Newfoundland the Liberals. Six
provinces voted in 1890. Most provincial elections in onc year was
in 1886 with seven.
VICTORY IN CAPE BRETON
In Nova "Scotia today Progressive Conservatives swnpt Liberal
and CCF strongholds in Cape
Breton Island, where thcy failed
to, win a seat In recent elections.
Thcy ousted other Liberals in industrial Pictou County.
Four Liberal cabinet ministers
were defeated. Thcy were Agricul.
ture Minister Colin Chlsholm,
Highways Minister Arthur MacKenzie, Trade Minister Wilfred
Dauphinee and Attorney-General
Malcolm Patterson.
House Speaker J. Smith Mac-
Ivor was among the defeated Liberals in Cane Breton.
■Premier Hicks, Educalion Minister Ronald Fielding, Health Minister Geoffrey Stevens and Labor
Minister Nunn survived the Conservative tide.
ASKS CO-OPERATION i
Premier-elect Stanfieid said, "I
hope the people of the province
will co-operalc with me so I can
devole myself wholeheartedly to
my duties."
The Liberals held their own in
Halifax County, winning six ol
seven seats. Conservative frontbencher Richard A, Donahoe retained his Halifax South seat, once
held by the late Liberal Premier
Angus L. Macdonald.
Mr. Hicks got the results in his
hometown of Bridgetown. Hc said,
"This is only a temporary setback
for our party."
He indicated recounts may bc
asked in some constituencies
where majorities are' small.
"However," he said, "it certainly looks as though thc Conservatives will have a majority of
three." There arc 43 scats in llie
house.
ONE CCF MEMBER
CCF leader Michael McDonald
retained his Cape Breton Centre
scat but the only other CCF member in the last legislature lost lo a
Corisc/vativc. Hc was former
party leader IUisseilCunningham.
Liberals upset two Conserv-a
lives in Yarmouth, a two-member
riding, and won three newly
created scats. But. these gains
were more than offset by losses
elsewhere.
Premier-elect Stanfieid won an
early victory in Colchcstet. where
Conservative Stalwart G. I. (Ike)
Smith also was re-elecled. Among
the defeated there was the sole
woman candidate, Liberal Mrs.
Margaret Norric.
Highway Minister Mackenzie,
who lost in Hants East, had moved
to lhat riding for this election after
representing Guysborough County
in the previous legislature.
FORMER MAYORS ELECTED
Two former Halifax mayors-
were elected. Besides Conservative Richard Donahoe in Halifax
South, Liberal John E. (Gee)
Ahern took the Halifax North seal
formerly held by Harold Connolly,
now a senator.
Noisy crowds of Conservative
supporters paraded thc streets of
Halifax after lhe result became
known. Impromptu eclcbrationj
also started iu Txuro, where Mr.
Stanfieid heard the results.
- With the election Nova Scotia
became the second Atlantic province under a Conservative government. New Brunswick returned
Conservative Premier Hugh John
Flemming to power in a Juno
election.
Primcc Edward Island and'New.
foundland both have Liberal governments, the latter re - elected
with an -increased majority earlier this month.
For traditionally Liberal Nova
Scotia il was thc third Conservative eleclion victory since Confederation. Thc Holmes • Thompson
Conservative administration in
1878-82 and the Rhodes-Harringlrn
government from 1925 to lf>33
were the onlv others.
DISTURBANCES
Minor disturbances marked
vote-counting in two districts. At
New Ross in Lunenburg East a
crowd set up a roadblock preventing thc returning officer from
moving ballot boxes to the post
office. Another scuffle • was reported near the returning officer's
headquarters in Cape Brelen
West.

Conservatives led by Robert L. I
Stanfieid. ■ j

tlon this year, most in any one1
year since 1890, and the only oncj
in which the sitting government I
went down to defeat.
In olher provincial elections this
year New Brunswick re-elected Hs
Progressive Conservative government, Quebec the Union Nation-
ale, Saskatchewan the CCF, British Columbia Social Credit and
Newfoundland the Liberals. Six
provinces voted in 1890. Most provincial elections in onc year was

and CCF strongholds in Cape

ASKS CO-OPERATION i
Premier-elect Stanfieid said, "I
hope the people of the province
will co-operalc with me so I can
devole myself wholeheartedly to
my duties."
The Liberals held their own in
Halifax County, winning six ol
seven seats. Conservative frontbencher Richard A, Donahoe retained his Halifax South seat, once
held by the late Liberal Premier
Angus L. Macdonald.
Mr. Hicks got the results in his
hometown of Bridgetown. Hc said,
"This is only a temporary setback
for our party."
He indicated recounts may bc
asked in some constituencies
where majorities are' small.
"However," he said, "it certainly looks as though thc Conservatives will have a majority of
three." There arc 43 scats in llie
house.
ONE CCF MEMBER
CCF leader Michael McDonald
retained his Cape Breton Centre
scat but the only other CCF member in the last legislature lost lo a
Corisc/vativc. Hc was former
party leader IUisseilCunningham.
Liberals upset two Conserv-a
lives in Yarmouth, a two-member
riding, and won three newly

were more than offset by losses
elsewhere.

early victory in Colchcstet. where
Conservative Stalwart G. I. (Ike)
Smith also was re-elecled. Among
the defeated there was the sole
woman candidate, Liberal Mrs.

were elected. Besides Conservative Richard Donahoe in Halifax
South, Liberal John E. (Gee)
